Oh what's a few more...








What is a few more Chicago pictures among friends...one of the things we did while we were there was take a water taxi and let me tell you it was a great little trip. It doesn't travel up the river very far but it is a nice view, the kids love it is a boat, and it is only 2 dollars a piece!! So there are a couple of images above of our taxi trip!


The other two photos were from the Science and Industry museum. The Submarine exhibit (bottom) was awesome. 3 out of 4 of our family liked it best out of all we saw...it was very well put together. I enjoy museums but rarely spend time reading everything about an exhibit but the way this one was staged I was riveted! And the size, as you can see is enormous!!
And we ate at Kitschn and had the coolest, nicest waitress I have ever seen named Erin!! The food was really nice (I had a fried chicken blt which was served on a pizza dough bun and had really good honey mayonaise and applewood smoked bacon and rosemary garlic mashed red potatoes on the side), the decor funky, and the kids actually could get real veggies (think steamed broccoli),they also had very nice beer (Goose Island Matilda) and above you will see photos of our uber yummy desserts. I bet you will never guess what they are...take a few seconds think about it study it...put your culinary hats on...and you will still not get it...
The top one is tiramasu, you think you had that one figured but wait...it wasn't just lady fingers and the usual fare...it was Twinkies...yes the everlasting shelf life snack cake!! And it was really good! We had to share though and still couldn't finish it! The girls each got a dessert as you see...and it is lovely and chocolatey...and looked so elegant...and this one was not any choclate cake...it was yes you are getting it now... Ding Dongs!!! So fun and dessert too! So we recommend the Northriver Kitschn for grownups and kids!! Everyone was really wonderful it was reasonable and the food was good!!
So pardon the rambling post the ladies are doing the loudest most distracting yoga I have ever heard!! I think somehow they may be missing the point of yoga...just me though...
